I have a bad feeling about this winter...it's only November 18th, and it's pretty cold, and the wind is howling out there! The ponies have free access in and out of their run-in shed, and when it's so windy, they choose to stand INSIDE! I tried to put their hay outside tonight, but when it just blows away, and they stand inside and look at me with big, sad eyes...well, the hay ends up inside, too. :D

Work was really busy today. It always gets busy around the holidays, as people try to get stuff done that they should have done a long time ago! A couple weeks ago it was very quiet at work...I was actually LOOKING for new things to do. I e-mailed several people about submitting some paperwork several times, and they JUST submitted it today. So instead of spacing out the work over a few weeks, they dump it all on me at once. Grrrrrrr...why can't people do things on time?!

Anyway, back to a horsey topic...I'm a little concerned about the hay situation this year. It was pretty wet this summer, so I'm worried about moldy bales and simply having enough hay to get through the winter. I'm getting a delivery this weekend and hoping that the bales are big. Right now I'm paying a LOT of money for awfully small bales. :(

I've started making Christmas cards for this year, and I love it! I can't wait for Thanksgiving, but I also can't wait for the Christmas season and the Christmas music and the Christmas cards! As I mentioned before, I'm going small on the gifts this year, but I hope everyone will like the homemade cards (with photos!).
